Trevor, it's nice to hear from you. There is not really a weight rating on fifth wheel rails since they are bolted to the trucks frame. The weight rating would depend on the fifth wheel hitch you use in the rails of the 2021 Ram 2500.
Which hitch are you thinking about? Curt has a few nice fifth wheel options. How long is your bed? Can I ask your price range?
